Parametric Angled Clamp Mount

thingiverse

__version 1.2 changes__\r\n* New parameter added for creating a hole in the structure supporting the mount for cable management.\r\n* The module can now be easily used from other scad files for increased flexibility.\r\n\r\nI created this simple clamp to securely attach realsense 435 cameras onto pipes with a diameter of 28mm. For multi-camera setups, knowing camera positions and orientations is crucial. This fixed-angle mount makes the setup rigid and mobile.\r\n\r\n## Customizing Options\r\nBy making it parameterized, I've opened up possibilities for more uses like attaching pipes to walls at specific angles and adding other objects that accept two bolts to be mounted to any pipe-shaped structure.\r\n\r\n### Adjusting Size\r\nSet the height of the clamp (Z) when printing as shown. Some parts are scaled based on this size.\r\n \r\n### Ring Inner Diameter Adjustment\r\nSet this to the outer diameter of the pipe you're clamping to, with a little extra room for expansion. The gap in the ring allows it to expand and tighten without shifting.\r\n\r\n### Wall Thickness Options\r\nThicker walls make the clamp stronger but less flexible. Choose based on your specific needs.\r\n\r\n### Lock Gap Size\r\nAdjust this to set the size of the gap in the ring.\r\n\r\n### Lock Wall Thickness Settings\r\nLarger walls create a stronger connection, but they also concentrate deformation stress on smaller parts of the ring due to reduced flexibility.\r\n\r\n### Lock Hole Diameter\r\nSet this to the diameter of your bolt plus some extra space for ease of use.\r\n\r\n### Plate Thickness Adjustment\r\nAdjust this based on the length of your connecting bolts. Avoid combining thick plates with high angles, as this causes holes on one side to be off-center due to plate shearing. Thicker plates increase this effect.\r\n\r\n### Plate Angle Settings\r\nThis value should be between 0 and 45% for optimal results.\r\n\r\n### Mounting Hole Spacing\r\nSet this distance to match your camera's specific requirements, such as the RealSense 435 which is 45mm apart.\r\n\r\n### Mounting Hole Diameter\r\n Set this to the diameter of your bolt plus some extra space for ease. The RealSense uses M3 bolts and a value of 4mm works well for me.\r\n\r\n### Support Inset Option\r\nExperimental, use to create a gap between the ring and camera mount for running cables through.
